• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to agree with hon. Karua that truly, I think we should separate the two issues. However, it becomes a bit tricky to separate them when the hon. Member is talking of a letter nominating him to the same Committee. We will be seen to be unfair, and many of us actually believe that up to now that hon. Khalwale should serve in the PAC. He actually performed well as the Chair of that Committee. But let the side that nominates these Members to these Committees go and resolve ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think hon.

Under this method, once children reach Standard Four, we can start giving them CATs, which will count at the final examinations. view
